    Whats the biggest blowout score line you've seen in person

    The big problem is the structure. all clubs have an equal vote. so anyone hoping to change anything has to get almost unanimous agreement and the clubs will not vote for anything that is not in their immediate interest. Toronto being a classic example. to bring Toronto back in after covid would...

    Whats the biggest blowout score line you've seen in person

    Football rules all here. Annoyingly for me as i hate the bloody game. Its cost pure and simple, if you drive you can't drink, if you don't drive there is shocking public transport especially between yorkshire/lancashire. so unless you can put in a good home crowd you get negligable travelling...

    No real worries, i thought Gilbert looked a bit too tired after 20 mins but another week or so he'll be good. Fleggs great return. Cobbo i'm still not convinced he's got the attitude. I saw a show about the chicago bulls and a guy was saying Jordan could turn it on and off at will and he never...

    2026 pre-season

    Cobbo looking lazy again to be honest. he's doing 'just enough'. Schneider isn't anything special. as i said before can knock over a drop goal in the dying mins but thats about all i'd rely on him for. Great to see fleggs cross the line.

    Just a little update on the sad state of British RL. we've just lost our 3rd team in the last few months. Salford went bust end of last season and the current Salford is a phoenix club in the championship. and so far in 2026 we've lost Featherstone Rovers and this week the taxman killed Halifax...

    in fairness their 1-7 had 1 first grade appearance between them. the Cowboys rightly ripped through them in the first half. This is what these games are for though isn't it so young players get a run out against more experienced guys to see how they react.

    Warrington and former Canberra player George Williams confirms his return to the NRL next year with an unknown team. The fact its not been announced seems to suggest he isn't a priority.

    Perhaps being told actually you're not going to get a spot on potential alone and being dropped has had the desired impact. Just needs to be kept on a short leash and occasionally woolf will need to give him 8 lace holes.

    The game i was at on Sunday it was Dark (5pm ko) misty, drizzle 3C and blowing a strong wind. there were two people from Widness next to me in shorts. For me the idea of doing more than drinking when its above 20C is enough to make me want an Ice bath. 5C shorts and flipflops. 8-10c depending...

    British rugby league is and always has been in a shit state. There is no money in it, my club is now in the second tier (championship) as the third tier folded. we get central funding from the league which I'm not 100% on but i believe is about £100k (for the year) The sport gets zero media...

    My concern over Knowles is how well he can deal with the heat. The guy is from Barrow in Cumbria and has played in St Helens since he was 15. Neither place is regarded for their hours of sunshine or dry weather. The mist or rain is usually that bad I'm afraid the guy will get headaches if he's...

    I'm not a fan of cobbo as I've said before i think he's bone idle and will be the 40yo guy at reunions crying into his chips about what he could have been. He definitely has potential and when he's in the mood is one of the very best but more often than not he just doesn't seem bothered.

    I still think Fuller is the best option at FB, in attack at least. his defence has at times been a tad off positionally but his heart is unequalled. Fuller ducking under a tackle with options to hammer or herbie for an offload makes you a realistic 100m threat attack. Hammer at FB just...

    I was at a challenge cup game yesterday and it ended 110-0. The kicker missed 5 goals so it could have been 120. We received the first ko and scored a few straight tries it took until 10mins for the opposition to touch the ball other than to put it on the kicking tee. I will say this was an...

    If you want to take a punt I'll put up Brandon Smith. I've always thought he was a decent player, yes there are issues but having heard him open up on the bye round last week about his rehab i think a move away from the old crowd could help keep him on the narrow.

    2026 Squad

    I've just found it on youtube the rd 22 game he was binned in the 73rd min for a cannonball/hip drop/ 3rd man/ shit show. However if you watch it he does appear to slip on his left foot and fall. The fact its broke Jacob Labans leg made it look alot worse than it really was. In the rd 11 game...
